Which term describes the recognition that an individual has received certification for peer support from another state and meets the qualifications specified under Medi-Cal Peer Support certification policies?

• A. Out-of-State Reciprocity
• B. Recovery
• C. Self-Advocacy
• D. Trauma Focused

Answer: (A)

Recognizing a peer support certification earned in another state is about reciprocity across jurisdictions. This term means Medi-Cal accepts an out-of-state credential as meeting its own certification standards, allowing the individual to practice without repeating the entire process if they meet policy requirements. This is the best fit because it directly describes cross-state recognition of credentials. The other terms don’t match: recovery refers to personal healing, self-advocacy is about advocating for oneself, and trauma-focused describes an approach to care rather than credential recognition.
